megangoblue's brother is using all of the bandwith at her house and streaming is awful. I feel like I should be rooting for Joe Louis instead of rooting for a game at Joe Louis, listening to a sporting event on the radio and all...

The guys on the radio call must not know they're able to be heard on the live stream. "Someone should take McInchak and have him ref peewee hockey. I've got records that show he makes extremely weak calls on Michigan."

Hell if I know how I did it; I just kept refreshing the audio page until I got lucky and they synced up. The FSN stream is now using the Michigan radio feed, though, so now you can listen to the good guys on it.

The point is the CCHA may have added a rule that you do regularly planned "TV timeouts" whether or not the game is televised, so there's not a difference in game flow between televised and non-televised games.

Whether CCHA rules applied or not, there were 3 media timeouts per period in all 4 GLI games. Probably because the WCHA also requires the TV timeouts, and the hosts of the tournament are from the WCHA (Michigan Tech) and the CCHA (Michigan).

both the Detroit Pistons and Red Wings had games tonight, so our game was not broadcast on TV. I've pinged FSD's Twitter account to see they even recorded it, and if they would air a re-play of the game. Cross your fingers.

Can anyone with better knowledge about the national college hockey landscape than myself tell us what this weekend has done for our tourney chances? How close would we be to being in if the season ended today?

Unlike other sports, the NCAA Hockey Committee has an open selection process--no smoke-filled rooms for the selection of the at-large teams. Their selection rules are replicated by something called the Pairwise Ratings:

Notice that there are 7 CCHA teams that would qualify right now. Since there are no non-conference games remaining in the CCHA, these 7 teams will start knocking each other out of the top 16 and we will probably be left with only 5 or so teams in the tournament. The key for Michigan will be to make sure that they beat the teams near them in the standings--next weekend's series against Lake Superior, plus series against MSU and Northern on back-to-back weekends in mid-February are the key games on the schedule.
